Don't miss this seminal review by the one and only @NabaLabUIC!!! A must read! #ECM Metastasis Research Society

What happens when unexpected happens!? 1) Johanna Lilja Ivaska Lab #JasminKaivola identified SHANK3 as a KRAS inhibitor 2) predicted SHANK3 depletion boosts KRASmut tumors 3) observed SHANK3 depletion kills KRAS-cells by ERK hyperactivation, apoptosis rdcu.be/dTQDP

Check out Ivaska Lab latest unexpected discovery on hyperactivation as a way to kill KRAS mutant cancer cells and limit KRASmut xenograft growth with nanobodies disrupting SHANK3-KRAS interaction 👇

Latest from Ivaska Lab▶️ Johanna Lilja, Kaivola et al. report an unanticipated way to kill KRAS mutant cancer cells by disrupting SHANK3-KRAS interaction 👌😎 Congratulations to all the authors and check the paper out here 👉rdcu.be/dTQDP

Excited to share our latest paper by Johanna Lilja , #JasminKaivola, Johanna Ivaska et al., on the role of SHANK3-KRAS interaction in targeting KRAS-mutant cancers is out in Nature Communications. Grateful to have been a part of this! Congrats to all! rdcu.be/dTQDP

After the great success of Adhere1 last September, Andreja Ambriović Ristov, Vasso Kostourou and myself are excited to announce that Adhere2 will go ahead next September. 3rd-6th September 2025 in beautiful Zadar, Croatia.


Super excited about this amazing collaboration with Ivaska Lab @guijacquemet Research group of Professor Marko Salmi and the cellmig.org lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Identifying details of cancer cell and leukocyte adhesion to endothelial monolayer under flow

Super excited and proud to see this amazing work coming out. Years of hard-work paying off! Big thanks to @guijacquemet and Gautier FOLLAIN for providing an opportunity to work on such an amazing project!



Jasmin from Ivaska Lab will defend her thesis this Friday!


Yesterday my student Matilda Roos-Mattila defended her thesis on ”Stromal Inflammatory Markers and Drug Sensitivities in Pancreatic Malignancies” with potential help for PDAC patients (stay tuned). Prestige opponent prof Johanna Ivaska Johanna Ivaska


🚨 Exciting News! As we count down to #CellMech2025, we’re highlighting our incredible keynote speakers! 🌟 (1/2) 🧫🔬 Johanna Ivaska leads the Cell Adhesion & Cancer Lab, focusing on integrins, mechanosensing, and their role in cancer progression.


Johanna Ivaska (2/2) Her research aims to uncover how cellular interactions influence disease outcomes. Don’t miss her talk at #CellMech2025! 🔬 Stay tuned for more speaker profiles! 📅 #CellMech2025

K. Albin Johansson -tutkijaprofessorimme Johanna Ivaska painottaa lääketutkimusten ja uusien syöpälääkkeiden arvoa. Ivaska Lab tutkii terveitä soluja syöpäsolujen ympärillä ymmärtääkseen, miten kudos voi hillitä syövän kehittymistä. hs.fi/alueet/art-200…

”Lääketutkimukset ja niiden perusteella kehitetyt kalliit syöpähoidot ja täsmälääkkeet ovat korvaamattoman tärkeitä nyt ja tulevaisuudessa.” Lääketeollisuus ry Kannattaa lukea kv. syöpätutkijan näkemys 👇🏻 Helsingin Sanomat | Johanna Ivaska hs.fi/alueet/art-200…

”Kukaan ei koskaan pysty suojaamaan itseään syövältä täysin, vaikka eläisi miten. Mutta omaa riskiä sairastua voi pienentää terveellisillä elämäntavoilla.” Johanna Ivaska Turun yliopisto - University of Turku Tarvitsemme Suomessa korkealaatuista syöpätutkimusta. hs.fi/alueet/art-200…

We are very proud to announce Johanna Ivaska as recipient of the Biennial Finnish Science Award. Johanna was described as a distinguished researcher with pioneering work in cell biology. Warmest congrats from all of us, boss! utu.fi/en/news/news/f…
